• QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR EYE DOCTOR

    1. HomeNewsQUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR EYE DOCTOR
    When meeting a prospective eye doctor, you should ask questions about the doctor’s qualifications, the facility, the ophthalmology services offered, and any other questions that will help you decide if the eye doctor is the right doctor for you.

    Questions you may want to ask your eye doctor during your initial consultation include:

    • How long have you been practicing ophthalmology or optometry?
    • Can you describe the education and training you undertook to become an eye doctor?
    • Do you participate in continuing education?
    • What advanced technology do you incorporate in my eye care and how will it benefit me?
    • How much one-on-one time can I expect to spend with the eye doctor?
    • Do you provide any cosmetic treatments for eyes?

    Choosing an eye doctor whose qualifications and skills you are confident in is important. It’s also important to choose an eye doctor with whom you are comfortable discussing your vision goals and treatment options. At Silverstein Eye Centers, our eye doctors are committed to providing excellent eye care, and personalized services and treatment planning.

    Our Specialties:

    Premium lens implants provide a continuous range of vision from near to far. In contrast to standard lens implants which require glasses for distance or close-up vision, premium lens implants expand your range of functional vision for both distance and near vision. Corrective eyewear may still be necessary for some activities, but the freedom from glasses and contact lenses is incredible. Learn more about our Premium Lens Implant options.
    A healthy cornea is critical to your vision and general health. When your cornea is damaged by injury, infection, or disease, your ability to focus is compromised because the incoming light can be distorted or blocked. Steven Silverstein MD, FACS is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist. He is an internationally renowned expert, and will expertly treat any corneal issues you may have.

    Ask us about Prokera, a biologic corneal bandage that has natural therapeutic actions known to heal the eye faster with less pain, scarring, and inflammation.
    If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, cataract surgery is the only way to restore your vision. Your choice of a cataract surgeon can have a significant impact on the quality of your results, so choosing your cataract surgeon carefully is worth the time and effort. At Silverstein Eye Centers, we use only the most advanced technology for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Learn more about cataract treatment options.
    LASIK laser vision correction has enabled millions of people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts. Dr. Silverstein has been performing LASIK procedures since the technology first became available, and is an expert in the field. Learn more about LASIK vision correction.

    Proactive eye care starts with routine examinations. Our complete examination will reveal any eye problems, even hidden ones you may not be aware of.

    If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, or thyroid disease, your vision and the health of your eyes could be affected. Also, certain medications can cause visual problems, which is why it’s so important to have your eyes examined on a regular basis. Contact us today to schedule your next appointment!
